ok, today, i raced a motorcycle. i have no clue what kind it was bc i have no clue about bikes. 
but, it was a nice looking bike with a 20ish year old looking guy riding it. it wasnt a nice R1 style ninja bike but it wasnt a big heavy Harley either...it was somewhere in between. he pulled up beside me at a stop sign and my top was down and my friend was with me and looked over at him and nodded with this smerk on his face to let the biker know what was up. 
i revved at him in first and he revved back and we were off! i left VERY easy, like i would leave a normal stop sign but right when my gear caught i gunned it. needless to say by the time i hit mid 3rd he quit trying as he fell back 5-6 cars (thats like 15 bikelengths!!!) i should tell him i beat him by 15 lengths. anyways, i turned after that and never got a chance to talk to him. i wouldve liked to have known what kind of bike it was, to see if it was a fast one or not but o well. first race with a bike, nonetheless, went well!

lol. You've never ridden a motorcycle. 
any modern sportbike will leave an S2000 in dust. it doesn't matter it is 600,750 or 1000...

Although I am pretty slow, I do have a WERA Road Race license. And have ridden about every bike out there. Above was just some dry humour. That said, there are lots of clowns riding out there who are pretty clueless, so I do find the story pretty believable.

so it's easier for the people to identify it.

this is cracking me up!A buell would rip a stock/fairly stock s2k to shreds. I mean even a new kawasaki 500cc would beat a stock s2k. Check it out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kawasaki_Ninja_500R ..You could smoke him on the freeway no doubt but not from a stop. This is considered one of the smaller bikes too.
Im not saying you didnt kill the bike, just that it was either error on his part, or a bike in horrible condition.
